One Million!

Since we initially released Lose It! in 2008, our focus has remained simple. We want to help people lose weight and be healthier using technology. Since 2008, the Lose It! iPhone application has been downloaded more than 6 million times (and our last upgrade was installed by more than 2 million members). We love that we’ve been able to reach so many members.

In 2009, we introduced Loseit.com as a web companion to the Lose It! iPhone application. It started as a simple extension of the iPhone application, but at the end of last year, we introduced Loseit.com as a way you can use all the Lose It! features on the web (no smarthphone required, though it syncs with Lose It! on your device). We believed a web version of Lose It! would help us reach even more people.

We’re thrilled to announce that earlier this month, we added our one millionth member to Loseit.com. Our Loseit.com members have logged more than 300 million foods. In fact there are more than 750,000 foods logged in a typical day! But the bottom line is that our Loseit.com members lose weight- more than 3.5 million pounds so far. Even as you read this, Loseit.com is handling thousands of queries each minute.

The millionth member is a great milestone for Loseit.com and it confirms our belief that Lose It! can make a difference in millions of people’s lives. To celebrate, and as a small thank you for joining Lose It!, we’re releasing a special limited edition badge for each of our first million Loseit.com members.

We want to thank all the members who have joined Loseit.com and help make Lose It! the best weight loss community on the web (and in your pocket)!

Yes, I agree, I did not know how many carbs I was eating daily, no wonder I was not losing any weight. I have lost 20 lbs, and have ten to go. Thanks for the great app. I have gotten three others to join me. It’s all about being accountable.

Congratulations! I use Loseit on the web (no iPhone) and have had tremendous success! Recommend it to all my friends! We’re ready for the Android app! 🙂 Thank you so much for your support in my (and many of our) weight loss goals!

I started to log everything that passed my lips almost 2 years ago and 60 pounds later it has become a way of life. I’m not an obsessive score keeper but it is is very satisfying to watch the “how-Goes-It” chart. As a kidney transplant candidate Loseit has played an enormous role in my dietary regime.
Thanks for a great APP.

Best weight loss app on the planet. Period. It was the difference in me being able to lose 45 lbs safely and correctly. The weight has been off for a year and my health is excellent. BP is back to normal and blood sugars are also. After my last physical with my Dr. I was told I was in “excellent health.” It had been many years since I had heard that!!

After a lifetime of being overweight I am in my 5th year of maintaining a 45-lb weight loss (a 2-year effort). I didn’t start using LoseIt until after I lost most of the weight but this app is a critical part of keeping it off. I love being able to enjoy treats guilt-free because I know they fit into my daily intake. Sorry for the long comment but for those of you just starting out, hang in there!

Congrats. I’ve been using LoseIt every day for over a year. It’s a great app, and when I had a technical issue I got great support, including emails from Charles to help make sure my issue was resolved.

I’m pretty sure you are violating my rights as an app store user by posting your “One in a million” badge/advertising thru my Twitter acct w/out my permission. I deleted your app over a year ago. You do NOT have my permission to continue to post on my behalf. I will be complaining to the App store about this.

I have been using this app for about 1 1/2 years and it has helped me lose then maintain a 35 lb weight loss. Congratulations on your milestone. This is truly a great app and has helped me– who has struggled with weight for a long time– establish and maintain healthy eating habits.

This is great! I just learned that your website syncs instantly with my iPhone. I haven’t used it much lately, but today is as good as any start using it regularly again. You have the biggest food data base I’ve found and I like the ease of adding my own and personalizing the list. Thank you!

Yay! This makes me so happy! I recommend Lose It to EVERYONE. It’s such a great app with an intuitive interface and is backed by an attentive staff who actually listens to feedback. With every update this app just gets better and better. It’s because of this app that I am now at my goal weight. 🙂
I’ve been a dedicated Lose It user for almost a year and plan on continuing to use it for years to come.
Thank you, Lose It!

I lost 23 lbs in 2 1/2 months. Great program. I have kept if off for almost 8 months now. Changed my life. I was never overweight but I could not get rid of my pregnancy weight after having 2 kids. Finally back to my pre pregnancy weight. Feels awesome.
Thanks go LOSE IT!!

hi there,
would you be able to add more foods from outlets such as Whole Foods and Trader Joes? you have a ton of fast food options, but lack a little bit on the healthier choices. people trying to ‘Lose It!’ are likely not eating so much at fast food joints. 🙂
thanks!

Great app! Changed another life, actually 4. Have wife (-35lbs), daughter (-12lbs), coworker (-42lbs) me(-34lbs) on program. Ran my first official 8k run and feel so much better. No more CPAP machine for me! Thanks for the help.

This is my second time using the loseit app but my first time REALLY using it. In 4 months I’ve lost 29 pounds and my wife has lost 24. We’re so grateful for the motivation loseit gives us and the ease in which we can log our info.

Great use of current technology! ‘Lose It!’ made me realize there is only so much room in the human fuel tank, and we are better off filling it with nutritious fuel. Clearly there is more to weight control than calorie counting alone. Fueling up nutritiously has got to be a whole way of life.

My doctor told me I had to walk a half hr. every day to lose weight. I could barely get off the sofa. I gave up. My daughter mentioned your app and I have lost thirty pounds in three months and now treadmill daily. I feel so proud of myself…I have enrolled to get my masters.

Thanks to you who developed the app for all of us who aren’t as lucky as some when it comes to loosing weight. I have lost 20 pounds and my doc has reversed my meds for diabetes. I intend to keep using Lose it to keep the weight off and live healthier. Thanks to you.

Congrats on the milestone! This is really a fantastic app which my 14-year old iPhone-toting daughter recommended to me coincidentally one day after I’d weighed in at the doctor’s office at 225 lbs (an all-time high for me). My goal was to get down to 205 lbs. With the help of the app, I pretty quickly got down to 210 lbs and just recently dropped to 204 lbs.
For me, the greatest benefit of the app was to help me realize which foods should go in my mouth and which shouldn’t. And to cut down on late night snacking (when you’re out of your calorie budget, you’re done). I also discovered that you can even find a decent, healthy meal at McDonald’s if you ask the right questions (Grilled Chicken sandwich meal, no mayo on the sandwich, apple slices instead of fries and bottled water as the drink).
So, thanks again.

I have excercised for so long. I hadn’t lost not one pound until loseit showed me how wrong I ate. Honesty is the best policy…not oh I eat salads. Thanks for making this site availble I share it with everyone.

I found out I had congestive heart failure in December of 2008 and I saw an iphone app commercial in February 2009 after having a defibrillator implanted in January.

I was looking to lose weight so I tried it out and proceeded to lose over 200 pounds using the app, eating right and exercising instead of more drastic measures such as surgery. I went from 440 then to 233 in early 2010. Since getting an android phone in September of 2010 I have gained back over 30 pounds and realize that I depended on LoseIt! to help keep me on track.

Hoping to get an app for it on android soon so I can keep focused every day on my goal. Great product that I owe the betterment of my life to.

This is the absolute best thing I have ever found. I am 50 years old, and quit smoking last Aug….I got up to 275lbs. (6″3″) then decided I was not doing this anymore. I tell people, and show people all the time about this app. I have lost 25 lbs, since Jan 1, and have set a goal of at least 75 lbs….I did join a gym and work out at least 3 days a week, and most weeks do 4. I walk, jog or run, at least 14 miles every week. Your app tells me exactly what I need to do. If you want to hire someone, to help market this product, please get in touch with me. I have never, ever believed in something as much as this !!!! I have set everything up on spread sheets, and Lose It showed I should have lost 24 lbs……It was exact !!!!! Thanks Again, please don’t ever leave me, because you have a friend for life !!!
